Not a guy, but I imagine food of any kind would be appreciated. Does the party have a theme?

For example, if it was a football theme, maybe some koozies, beef jerky or barbeque chips, a nerf football, etc.

This sounds like an experience the Lonely Island should write a song about. "Basket of porn, basket of porn...boobies boobies everywhere."

I keep hearing about these coolers, but it's just not a California thing, and I don't know where I'd keep them around. I mean...do you have to throw them out at a certain point? I know this sounds stupid but come on, our rooms in the house aren't that big.

I'm picturing a Southern frat guy with ten coolers stacked in a closet next to a bunch of polos now.


Edit: I am way late on this thread...The question about coolers stands though.

The fellas I know would not want a painted cooler, they have coolers for their outdoor activities and would prefer something to fill said coolers. I just can't imagine Idaho guys at camp out or rafting with a hand painted cooler. I'm not just talking alumni either, but freshmen and sophomores.

I did my own fratty/school crafts: knit golf club covers, painted picture frames, made a cover for the bird dog's bed, baked cookies & cakes, but cooler painting, never.

Perfect comeback song for The Bloodhound Gang.

Colonel Sanders bucket leads to finger licking, but this basket of porn is for choking the chicken. Pizza delivery is a way to get laid and paid, bow chicka-wow-wow there's double pepperoni in her box!

Thanks for answering my question, and those are very awesome fratty crafts. Frafts? This should be a thing.


Also, might not be a comeback song to the Bloodhound Gang, but The Lonely Island did something to make fun of the Ying Yang Twins. It's before their SNL days I think, so it's not quite up to par as their Digital Shorts, but they are the "Bing Bong Brothers":

A YouTube commenter said "This should be the Chat Roulette theme song," so in other words, this is definitely NSFW.

Stratty crafts - strafts I guess.

Fratty crafts would be stuff like building a beer pong table, or filling the house with sand for a party. Which you have to admit is an upgrade from how high can we stack beer cans.

I should be clear that there are no absolutes. There are probably guys who would like a painted cooler and women who would paint them, as there are people on campus who definitely are into the whole Old Row TFM genre, they just aren't in the majority.

My crafts combined alma frater and alma mater symbolism so it was definitely particular to a chapter at this school. I'm just crafty though, I can't sit and watch a movie or tv without doing something else and crafting goes well with visual entertainment. I don't suggest anything with subtitles though, or a overly complicated craft. Podcasts and NPR are awesome for something that requires more visual attention.

Get a cooler. Write his name on it, if you feel like it decorate it a little bit, but nothing that will be embarrassing or "gay" so that he won't use it again. Fill it with Beer.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

Booze is good for college.

If its not at your sorority house then I would go with deep south here. Even go as far as to spray paint the cooler the color of his fraternity. I would love something like that, especially if it was free.

A bunch of booze

[fumblerooski]

Candy and chips would be a good start
